While it was clear many players were looking forward to the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, what’s happening now has to be far above and beyond what developer Larian could have hoped for.

I picked it up and played a little today. There are some really, really bad bugs in this game. Needs a patch asap. Maybe it's a problem with multiplayer but I basically convinced a guard to let us through and my buddy walked into a room, immediately got another encounter and failed it, and then we were all murdered.

Then there was a time when I couldn't even exit the game, the esc key wouldn't work and I had to quit through task manager.

Honestly mate? The first one makes sense; only you'd been let in, your mate hadn't. When he failed his check, the guards realised both of you were bullshitting and went straight for murder. That's not a bug, that's a feature.

The latter may in fact be your machine; on recommended specs (and an SSD) such issues haven't occured. Was quite common on EA before I got an SSD though, so might be worth installing one? It sounds similar to a common issue with Skyrim though, so if you find it acceptable there, I wouldn't say it's "really really bad."
